Back to the Blogosphere!

Alert! I'm returning to the blogosphere!

After nearly three months of no posts, I am back! I have decided in the past couple weeks to become very serious about blog writing. I got a new planner and while searching Pinterest for ideas on how to set it up I was inspired by other bloggers to plan posts and write down ideas as they come to me. So here I am!

I realize that being "too busy" is just an excuse. I find time for everything else, why can't I find some time to write. Though online school does eat up a billion hours. Suggestion: do not take a full course load of online classes. Three maximum is probably a safe number. Also, if you don't like busy work or feel uncomfortable just reading the text, I recommend finding the time to just take traditional classes. It's easier to understand that you're not getting a concept during a lecture. Despite my diligence in getting work done on time and to the best of my ability, I still received my lowest GPA ever. My 4.0 at Urbana saved it a little and pulled it up to a 3.6, but it's still discouraging when trying to get the grades to attend an Ivy League Law School.

Anyway, I digress. So, this weekend Garrett graduates from high school. We're excited to be going to school in the same city and being able to enjoy the college experience together. Even more than celebrating his being done with high school (which we are cheering enthusiastically about), we are celebrating a beginning. We'll be moving forward together since we're both changing directions, (he's starting Graphic Design classes in September and I am restarting my college experience at The Ohio State University). I'm so proud of him (also insanely jealous because he's going to graduate college before me - not including graduate school).

Speaking of graduations, did you know it's extremely difficult to find gifts for male graduates? Yeah. Especially handmade ones. Garrett asked for things to decorate his room, so you'd think drawings right? Well despite my craftiness, I'm not that great at drawing. My sister got all of the talent. I'm great at scrapbooking and making artsy shadow boxes and handmade cards (Garrett was extremely impressed that I can make my own envelopes). I don't want to post what I am making him since I'm fairly sure Garrett reads this...but I will post pictures after Graduation is over. It's not the greatest, I am a little low on funds since I splurged a little bit on a Franklin Covey planner and recently had to pay my housing deposit for OSU, which isn't cheap. (Not to mention I bought him VIP concert tickets for his birthday so he already got splurged on this year!)

I know that like two people read my blog, but if you happened across this post a topic you'd like me to write about in the comments section!

Thanks, everybody!! Have a super day!
